Picton Castle at sea; Saturday 18 December 2010 בס"ד

Got an 0530 wakeup, but was still DTW til 0715. Breakfast, then work. Today's list:

  • grease all freeing port hinges and rudder steering post mechanism

  • paint another coat of black under coffee station and also a coat on the after chocks

  • corroseal and prime propane tanks A and B

  • nip bunts as needed

  • assist people in overhauling their harnesses

  • scrub forward bulkhead and cowl vent pipe to prep for paint

  • wirebrush, corroseal, and prime mizzen stay bolt on the mainmast

  • use rust remover chemical solution on some fasteners on the batcave hatch, then corroseal and prime

As today is Saturday, only work from 8-12. At the end during clean up, Siri asked me to mix her 50% varnish, 35% penetrol, 15% 004, so I did. Lunch, then watched 20 minutes of The Hangover in the batcave with Susie, then DTW in my bunk. Woke at 1600, did laundry, and a 1630 workshop on celestial navigation part II, this time in two groups, noon sights for beginners, and star twilight sights for advanced, which I joined the latter. Dinner, then wrote an article on Hanukkah for the head herald, basically explaining what it is and that it's not “Jewish Xmas.” Now writing my log, then gonna read.
